Martin Custom Shop | OM-14 VTS Pacific Big Leaf Maple

Martin are world renowned for their ability to craft beautiful guitars perfect for the working musician. With their effortless playability and stunning design, they have a really rich history and are considered one of the very best acoustic manufacturers around. If you want the very pinnacle of acoustic guitar construction, there’s only one place to look, the Martin Custom Shop.

Our John has been on multiple trips to the CF Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania to spec out Martin Custom Shop guitars. During this time he has established a fantastic relationship with the master luthiers, who have access to some of the most mind-blowing tonewoods in the company, so we really feel that you won’t find a finer selection of Custom Shop Martin guitars anywhere that sound as good as ours.

Fresh in from Nazareth, Pennsylvania is the CF Martin Custom Shop 0M-14 Fret. 

With an incredible Sitka Spruce top you get a really dynamic and vibrant tone. It also benefits from the amazing VTS treatment, which allows Martin to make a brand new guitar sound like an 80 year old vintage instrument. The top is heat treated to remove the moisture, which allows it to have the quickest response and the most detailed tone. Pair that with the East Indian Rosewood back and sides, featuring a 3 piece back with a Pacific Big Leaf Flame Maple wedge, and you have a tonal dream team, it’s visually and tonally stunning. The 14th fret join allows for great access up the neck and a perfectly poised and balanced playing experience.

The neck is an absolute dream to play. With a Modified Low Oval neck shape, 16″ radius, 25.34″ scale length and a 1 3/4″ nut width, this Martin is supremely comfortable and smooth underhand. The Black Ebony fingerboard is the perfect partner for this neck; beautifully crafted it’s a real treat to play.

We have a selection of some of the rarest and coolest Martin guitars money can buy. So, if you’re looking for something truly unique, you need to check us out!
